A Talk with a Greedy Survivor.
Isan Francisco Examiner


"Yes, I'm Private Connell, one OF the six
survivors of the Greedy expedition, and the
Only one on the coast, but you can't get
AM thing out of me about what was done
during the last days of starvation and ter
ror," was the response a reporter met with
last evening from the gentleman above
named, wen asked if the published story
of murder and cannibalism were true. "All
L have to say is that never did anything
of the kind. What others may have done
is none of my business, and don't propose
to gossip about it"
"But if they were equally innocent as
yourself, why not say sO?" persisted the
reporter.
Il tell you don't want to talk about
the matter at all. It's past and gone, aud
I'm glad OF it. If an official investigation
should be called I'd gladly testify to all
know, so as to clear myself from any i'm
putstions of ever having shot and eaten
anybody. 1 tell you didn't do it."
Your refusal to say that none of the
others did so either will convey the i'm
preston that they did eat their fellows"
81 can't help that. Pm not testifying
before court, and until that time comes
IL it ever does and l wish it would, shall
say nothing. Then / should prove that
never ate any of my fellows nor shot them
either"
"How long were you without anything
to eat2''
"a month"
What you ate nothing for month";"
Nothing but few lichens l found upon
the rocks, and 1 think should have been
quite as well without them. The nourish-
ment derived from them did not compen-
safe for the exhaustion entailed by the eff
fort necessary to secure them"
Don't you know that the instinct OF
self-preservation under such circumstances
would prompt a man to cannibaIism?'
well, l tell you / didn't do it, what
ever the provocation may have BEEN"
but you refuse to say other survivors
didn't do it,
'Tet them answer for themselves. The
fact is that for a long time did not know
what they were doing. 1 hardly knew
what was doing myself. You remember
Capt Norman, the ice master, says he
found me insensible. 1 suppose three or
four hours would have finished me-"
"Tben what Capt. Norman says is true2"
No; 1 didn't say that. / tell YOU I
don't know anything about it. You'll
have to find that diary he speaks about"

Bark of the Papaw Tree

A correspondent of the South Carolina
department of agriculture writes: A new
industry might be started, not only giving
pleasure but considerable profit to those
who would engage in it, and requiring lit
tie or no capital. The common papsw
bark has fiber that is equal to the best
hemp or fax, somewhat superior in
strength. A grove can be started without
any future culture outside of preparing the
land to plant the seed. After a growth of
two years the young shoots can be cut and
placed in pure water, and let them remain
for two months, then taken out and strip
ped of the bark, which can be done readily;
the tiber viii be of pure white color,
while the outer bark will be the color OF
hemp and very strong. L have been max
ing use OF 1T for years for hame strings
and other purposes about my farm. | have
some now on hand, but 1t was not care
in muddy water and only intended for
ordinary use. The. smallest string can be
used with a needle as common cotton
thread, and will last equally as long. After
cutting the shoots they will sprout out
from the stumps and be ready for the next
years crop. Another advantage, the trees
will grow on both bottom and upland.
The writer now has grove growing on
common upland that was planted from the
seed. Now that machinery has been in
vented for decorticating ramie and jute, l
can't see why it would not answer the
same purpose for the papaw. Many OF
our river and creek bottoms have become
so uncertain as to crops, particularly the
lowest and best lands, that it might be
well to devote those lands to some other
crop that, if flooded, the farmers would
sustain no loss thereby. / have never
seen it tried, but am satisfied that If the
fiber is properly prepared it will make very
superior cloth. l hope some one
else will give their experience and
that the experiment will be made.

should Horses Be watered Before or After
Feeding.

should Horses Be Watered Before or After
Feeding.
The veterinary editor of the North British
Agriculturist says:
The rational practice is to let horses have
the opportunity of drinking sufficiently Of
tensto prevent their being very thirsty, and
hence drinking to excess. In hot weather
and during active eYertion horses enjoy and
are the better for draft of water at inter-
valsIof three or four hours. Ga their re-
turn from work they should have the op-
portunity of drinking, and unless absti-
mnc5 pr os tHs can1
tutionalIy washy and delicate, there Is no
need to restrict them. Cold water doss no
harm except in very cold, wintry weather,
when a Dor ton of hot water should be
run into the horse troughs, or the water
in buckles placed for several hours in the
stable. Refreshed by his drink, the morse
will feel better than ii he proceeds to his
meal thirsty and languid. Postponing
watering until after feeding has, moreover,
the serious disadvantage OF washing the
recently swallowed, imperfectly disested
food with abnormal rapidity onward
through the intestiles, thus checking di-
sestion, giving rise to irregular fermenta-
ton and inducing collie aud other ailments.
Although he may adYantag eously have a
few sips after feeding, horse should not
be allowed to gulp unlimited quantities OF
water, and indeed does not care to do 50, If
he has bad his drink before he began his
meal. For horses az well as for their mas.
ter, the best arrangement is to have water
for use in reasonable amount at all times
This is secured in many stables, where
slowly filing trough of about gallon ca.
pacity is fixed in the maugsr, aud to this
the horse turns at intervals with avidity
before feeding, occasionally during mas!i'
cation, to assist the moissening of his dry
food, and with dimin ished zest tc
wash his mouth on conclusion OF hi
meals.

italian Bees,

When a hive is opened the common bees
incline to rush out pell-mell, while Ital-
jans cling 10 the combs and remain quiet.
The utmost gentleness Is requisite az all
times in doing anything among bees, and
if this is practiced, there is little to De
dreaded in handling Italians. Occasional
ly things will happen calculated to try the
temper of the most peaceably-inclined
bees, just a. the gentlest of human beings
will sometimes be exposed to provocat1on.
Bat under ordinary circumstances the Ital-
ians will be found much more pacific and
less irritable than the common bees. They
are less liable to be destroyed by moths
than the common bees. In fact, If your
bees are Italians and the colonies are strong
and in good condition, you need have no
fears of this pest which until recsntly was
undoubtedly the most common aud for
midable enemy to bee culture in this couu-
try. III moths once get into hive Of black
bees, Ii Is but question of time when ii
viii succumb to their ravages, bat Italians,
with resolute determination, will make an
aggressive war upon them, cut out their
webs and carry the moths themselves out
side the hive. l have observed this per-
torrance repeatedly, and IL this was the
only point OF superiority that could be
claimed for Italian bees il is sufficient to
give them position or prominence among
the bee-keepers OF the South, where moths
are so common and very destructive. Hy-
birds are . cross between CO mmon bees and
Italians. They often have the distinct
marks of both races in the same colony,
while s1me only have one or two brands
across them. They are good honey gather
-ers, but vicious, irritable and difficult to
manage, and after the first cross degener-
ate and soon become worthlesL At least,
that is my experience with them, though
some prominent bee men prefer them to
pure stock of either race J. B. Mitchell

tory Pos essed by Them.
The Channel Islands were originally
part of the dukedom of Normandy.
The son of Rollo, the first Duke, gained
possession of them in A. d. 932. Then,
as ever afterward, the existing laws
and customs of the islands were not in
terfered with to any large extent. Al
the islands thus came under the ngi,
of the Norman Dukes, previous to tn,
invasion of England by William, the
inhabitants still boast that their con-
nection with the realm corlmencet
with their taking part in the conquest
of the Saxons. King John is said ia
have granted a charter confirming to
the islands their long enjoyed rightl
of self-governmcnt. A writer in
the Quarterly ReUieO for July, 1885,
however, asserts that there is no
foundation for this statement, and that.
on the other hand, it is more probable
the constitutional and administrative
arrangements of the Islands have pre-
vailed-to adopt the Quarterly Revieu's $
incontestable statement from time
Of which no memory exists" Feudal-
ism seems never to have weighed
heavily on the shoulders of the island
community. "From about 4Sl to gS2

Western Franks subsisted in force, ana

that Guernsey was occupied by France.
Six years later the invaders were OK
pelled by Jean de la Marche du Bas.
In 1928 the islands successfully re-
sisted the attacks of the great Bertrand
du Guesclln. They were, however,
nearly lost to this country during
tho wars of the Roses. Margaret OF
Anjou offered to cede them to the King
OF France If he would assist her hus-
band, Henry VI The Count of Maui
evrier was dispatched to help the un-
lucky Lancastrian Prince, and Mont
Orgueil was handed over to body OF
French troops led by an agent of Maui

that the islanders would submit to be-

grave mistake. Philip dc Carteret re-
